The President of the Cochrane and District Chamber of Commerce, Richard Foy, recently announced that he has decided that it's time for him to step down.

Foy says that after 9 years in the role, he's taken the Chamber as far as he can and that it's time for new blood. He also wants time to focus more on his job as a financial planner with Raymond James Limited.

Usually, the vice-president takes over from an outgoing president; currently, the Chamber's vice president is Bill Popplewell.
